Yup, I have a $200 mobo from Asus, it's got two identical M.2 slots
<br>
and I'm fairly certain they're both nvme - I know one of them is
<br>
because I'm using it :P ASUS B550-F is what I have, no integrated wifi
<br>
tho.
<br>
<br>
I have a Ryzen 5 3600 and I like it...not that expensive. If you don't
<br>
need 6 cores/12 threads, the 3400G with 4 cores/8 threads removes the
<br>
need for a GPU (as long as you're OK with the Vega integrated
<br>
graphics)
<br>
<br>
As for GPU...whatever you can find. I luckily found a 1030 GT on
<br>
Canada Computers so I wasn't stuck with a 710. I wish I got an AMD
<br>
one, but when nothing's in stock it's better to biy from a company
<br>
that you don't like than no product at all :P Nothing's in stock that
<br>
is even slightly a graphics card - even the 3400G is hard to find.
<br>
<br>
Corsair provides good ram.

Elive Linux is in my and many others' opinion, the best distro ever!
<br>
It is the distribution of the future, yet it is so lightweight that it
<br>
revives the past. Check it out! elivecd.org
